[SOLVED]Xorg doesn't work as it should after installing kernel-pds

Hello
I have a problem with my xorg, which is that after start it doesn't work as it should.
What i think is the problem that I don't have the correct nvidia drivers, but I can't seem to find which
drivers to install, when I have Linux-pds.

I tried installing Nouveau, but it seems it doesn't work. Or at least I don't know how to generate xorg.config for it.

lspci|grep -i vga

output :

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)

You need to use the nvidia-dkms driver...

I have it, but it doesn't change anything. Even tried reinstalling nvidia, nvidia-dkms and nvidia-utils

But even then if I run

nvidia-xconfig

the xorg.config looks like this:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 450.66

    Identifier     "Layout0"

It works now, I had to reinstall the linux headers, 'cause the

dkms autoinstall

said that it couldn't find the headers.
After that i reinstalled nvidia driver with pacman, rebooted and everything worked. Thanks for help. <3
